THE RURAL HOME.
A Mile stone,


AS the first big pattering drops that fall
With splash on the lattice pane
Make us shiver and start and as they warn lis al
Of storm, and of coming rain,
So it is with life, when we are growing old
And age steals unaware,
We shiver and start if the truth were told
At the sight of our first gray hair.
We mark not the light of our MONDAY hours.
Like the first streaks the dawn doth bring:
We hail not the birth OF our summer flowers
AS we do the first sn owdrops of spring;
On the bleak winter wind we look with grief
Though it bowls through the branches bare
But we sigh when we witness the brown autumn
And behold natures first gray hair.
Has none Of Its brightness lost
When with bouyant heart we fain would deny
Youths Rubicon has been crossed;
Yet the ivy clad trees look young and green
Though the sapless trunk may be there
And naught of decay on our cheeks may be seen
When we witness our first gray hair
Come early, come late, like knock at the gate,
Is that first soft silvery thread;
And it joins with its silence the years that await
With the years forever fed;
1t silently tells us we're journeying on
1t silently questions-where q?
Oh, faithful milestone were the truth but known,
AS seen in our first gray hair.

Whose accents tonight would beguile me,
And make my sad spirit rejoice.
I yeaIn for the sound of thy footstep
Mid the gloom that hangs starless and drear

That thou, o beloved, art here!
I stretch out my arms to enfold thee,
They clasp the impalpable air;
The spell of thy presence is round ME.

in the realms of eternity wanders
Thy fondly beloved spirit DOst thou
Heed the darkness of doom that has bound me !?
Come back, o beloved, come now!
Come back from that far isle of Sometime"
o sainted one haste thou TO me!
Lean thy head on my breast, nestle closely
'Gainst the heart that calls ever for thee.

Superphosphates.

An experience of over twenty years
convinces that it pays to use CONNER
cial fertilizers. 1t is q good thing to
put in the hill to give corn an early
start. Here let me remark that the
average farmer is afraid to put out g
dollar and wait till harvest for his
pay. A tablespoon is the usual
amount used in hill, Or 200 lbs. to
the acre, where 400 to 600 lbs.
should be used which will give q bet
ter return in proportion to the cost
than q less amount; land well dressed
with stable or barn manure, we'll
worked and mixed with the soil, will
carry out the crop that the phos-
phate starts in the early part OF the
season. Our experience is that rhos-
phate does not give an additional
growth OF slower; instead it gives
q much earlier and larger yield of
corn. For beans and turaips one
will see very marked difference by
using phosphate in connection with
stable manure. Two years ago we
tried little experiment with phos-
phate vs.. barn manure, on land
broken up the fall before The land
was somewhat run out to grass, there
being two acres in the piece. The acre
that | dressed with phosphate, and
no other dressing, had not been
dressed for more than ten years.
The other acie had been lightly
dressed during that time. Upon the
last named acre we spread ten cords
of cow manure from our barn cellar,
and spread upon the burrows. On the
other acre we sowed by hand 1,4OO
lbs. of phosphate; then gave the two

Walt Whitman in Boston.

In connection with the plan to form
Walt Whitman Society in Boston,
the Traveller, of that city, says,
"Boston prohibits the sale of Walt
Whitman's books. Even their circu-
lation from the public library is for
hidden, and his volumes appear there
with the ominous three stars that tell
the tale to the initiated. The idea OF
establishing a society for the promo
ton of ideas which the statues of the
city forbid to circulate is simply de-
licious. Boston is nothing if not con.
sistent.

Rejuvenating Old Peach Trees.

A lew years since came TO occupy
place upon which was a small peach
orchard that bore many evidences oil
neglect. The trees gave no indication
that they had ever been pruned. The
limbs had grown out, forming long
CT rocked poles, which were nearly des-
tltute OF branches.
Peach trees of such character are
not in condition to yield a crop. The
branches produce little new wood and
hence there is room but for few bios
SONS. Even if they were capable OF
producing good crop, the long limbs
would be very apt to break down
from the weight of the fruit.
AS an experiment, determined to
prune these trees back severely, cut.
ting Off all of the main branches a
short distance ABOVE the top of the
trunk. [ commenced in the spring of
1885 cutting back three trees, and
the result proved so satisfactory that
the following spring extended the ex-
pertinent to all the others.
From the pruned trees many new
buds promptly appeared upon the
bare stubs Of branches, and befor the
summer had passed almost all of the
trees had formed fine dense tops, max
ing them appear like young trees.
Trees cut back the spring OF 1885 will
bear full crop this season, but those
cut back last spring. with q few excep-
lions, are bearing but little. Next
season, however, if the winter is not
too severe, shall look for q full crop
upon all. The trees cut back did not
suffer so much from the leaf curl last
season as did the single one left un-
pruped.-[ Cor. Pc ular Gardening.

acres thorough narrowing with g.
two horse cultivator, markingit three
feet each way, so that when we hoed
the corn we could cultivate each way.
After making mark with q hoe in
the checks we dropped in the hill
about 27O lbs. on the acre last ma
nured. On the other acre, upon
which we sowed the phosphate, we
put in the hills $50 lbs and covered
it all before planting the corn. Then
we planted two acres by hand with
sweet corn for canning. We cultivat-
ed and hoed the two acres alike; in
the fall we harvested the phosphate
acre first, receiving for the corn on
that acre $51.19, and from the ma.
nured acre $50. The phosphate on
the acre cost me $39.7O; the manure
on the other acre we reckoned at So
per cord. delivered on the field, MAX
Ing 500, and 27O lbs. of phosphate,
SIS. 40, making total OF $65. 40. Any
one can easily decide whether phos-
phate pays in this crop or not. Al
ter paying for the phosphate we have
Sill 40, and the slower nearly equaled
the other acre, which we reckon worth
SIS per acre. The MANFRED acre
lacked $9.49 OF paying for dressing
and phosphate.
The question may be asked, what
about the future crops? We can only
answer upto now. The year following
the corn the field was sown with oats
and seeded down with clover, redtop
and herd's-grass, and we got a good
catch of grass, harvesting over fifty
bushels of oats to the acre. We esti-
mated the phosphate acre about five
bushels less than the other. The
straw was not quite as large grown
but we'll filled and heavy, weighing
thirty six pounds to the bushsel, struck
measure. The hay crop last year was
considerably heavier on the phosphate
piece, nearly two tons to the acre
On the other there was not so much,
and October 80 there was more grass
standing on the phosphate piece. We
don't feed our mowings.- M. J. R.,

Going to Town.

"Guess Ill 60 to town to-day; the
shower last night made it so wet that
J. can't work OUT" is the remark
heard by many farmers wife. At
the same time rank and greedy weeds
are growing in that mans fields,
along his fence rows and about his
barnyard, etc., preparing q cOpious
crop OF seed. This wet day is just the
time to make war on them; they will
pull up much easier than any other
time, and this is the way to operate
on them, for to cut off with hoe or
scythe they will soon sprout from
the stump and produce q crop. Now
is the time, when not otherwise en-
ployed, to go through the fields and
pull out any weeds which the pillow
has missed. Now is the time to trim
out the noxious weeds which grow
about the garden fence, along private
roads and about the barnyard.
Keep away from town; you have
no business there. Farmers CAD to
town five times as often as they
should, and they can learn more by
reading the page of one good newspa-
per than by street gossip for three
days. When u man has a plenty to
do at home, but hunts up excuses to
60 to town, his wife should hand him
this article, and if he will go, let it be
understood that he goes under pro-
test. But in damp days during har.
vest, haying, or tbreshing, be sure to
destroy the weeds and haul out the
manure: make some good pig troughs;
make q new single-tree in place of the
one which was broken; repair gates,
so that cattle will not trespass on
cornfelds; and do thousand other
things needed to be done. but stay
away from town.
Any day in theyear,if thereh has been
rain to interfere with the regular
work on the farm, there is q constant
stream of visitors on the road going
toward the place where idlers congre-
gate. The regular crops are depicting
and robbing our farms of their fertili.
ty without a crop of poisonous weeds
being allowed to aid in the exhaus-
ton.

Chardon.


Ii vas our good fortune on Monday
last TO be at the drawing of the town lots
at the new town of Chardon. in Rawlins
county. At the outset, We will say that
while the merits of this town have been
extensively advertised and we had rea-
son to expect a town of no light pros
poets or mean prosperity, we were, on
our arrival there, most happily disap
pointed. The growth and present pros
perity is far in excess of our highest an
ticipations. The popular interest of those
living in the vicinity is unlimited. Their
efforts in its behalf will be united and
unanimous, limited only by their ability
to aid. Their confidence is displayed by
the freedom of their investments in the
enterprise. There is already built and
in course of construction at this point, 8
buildings. The first, the store building,
of MIR. Winter, now occupied by him, was
built several years since, and was known
till recently, as Sappaton P o. The bal
ance have all been built in the past five
weeks. and consist of town company's
office. three store buildings. restaurant,
livery stable and blacksmith shop
We are credibly informed that negotia-
tions are now pending. looking toward
the erection of steam feed mill, and
several other buildings this fall. The
town is situated in the center of level
plain of rich farming country, unbrOken
for several miles in each direction. There
were present on Monday last from 200 to
400 people, many from Atwood. The
Atwood band, which, by the Way, is a
very creditable musical organization. was
present, and enlivened the occasion by
discoursing some fine music. Atwood
citizens are much interested in the new
town of Chardon, and will use their in
fluence in its behalf, hoping thereby to
share in the benefits which this town will
bring to them in the way of railroad ia
cilities. The Oakley, Colby s. North.

is, we understand from reliable authOri-
ty, to be extended next year, and will
pass through this town, and possibly
strike Atwood as one of its points. There
seems to be little room to doubt that
Chardon will have the impetus of a rail-
road before the close of another summer.
We learned that it is the intention of the
town company to invest considerable
money in improving the town. in the way
of a hotel and other Improvements. The
writer is not a town boomer, nor a nov
ice at journalism, but he thought quite
proper that the people of Thomas county
be apprized of the improvements going
on just over the line in Rawlins. hence
he essayed the task. In conclusion, we
say, that Chardon is town of promise.
happily located, with good railroad pros
poets. it has begun its career under most
suspicious circumstances, auguring its
ultimate success.
